UCF Physics student\u00a0Casey Schwarz recently attended the prestigious\u00a0Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings in\u00a0Lindau on Lake Constance, in the very south of Bavaria, Germany.<\/p>\n

More than 25 Nobel Laureates and 580 young researchers from all over the world met at Lindau to exchange ideas, discuss projects and build international networks.<\/p>\n

The special character of the Lindau Meetings is shaped by the fact that the Nobel Laureates can freely choose the topics of their lectures, which range from retrospective to current cutting-edge. The Laureates hold these lectures in the mornings during the conference. The afternoons are reserved for discussions between themselves and the young scientists. During other events on the social programme, the Laureates willingly talk about their own work and current scientific topics.<\/p>\n

“I’m\u00a0excited \u00a0bring some\u00a0notoriety\u00a0to our department,” Schwarz said. “I get to promote what was once a little program, but is now very successful.”<\/p>\n\n\t\t
